John Trapp on Lamentations 1:20

Ver. 20. Behold O Lord, for I am in diſtreſſe▪ Thus ever and anon ſhe is lifting up her ſoul to God by an holy Apoſtrophe in ſome ſhort yet pithy expreſſions. And ſurely if a long look toward God ſpeedeth, Pſal. 34.4, 5. Jon. 2.4, 7. how much more an hearty Ejaculation, as here?

My bowels are troubled] Lutulant, bulliunt, vel intumeſcunt: non ſolum fluctuant, aut ſtrepunt, ut alibi. My bowels boyle and buble, or are thick and muddy, as waters are after and in a tempeſt: or it is a Metaphor from mortar made by mingling water with lime and ſand. She was in a great perturbation: and ſought eaſe by ſubmitting to Gods Juſtice, and imploring his mercy.

Mine heart is turned within me] Or, turneth it ſelf upſide down. See Hoſ. 11.8.

For I have grievouſly rebelled] This was the right way to get eaſe and ſettle all within, viz. to confeſſe ſin with aggravation, putting in weight, laying on load.

Abroad the ſword bereaveth, at home there is as death] Famine eſpecially (which is worſe then the ſword, chap. 4.9.)

— & plurima mortis imago.

R. Solomon interpreteth it of evil Angels.
